It’s very easy for anyone to get a Gmail account. It’s free. All you have to do is go to a computer and sign up. You can even sign up from your Android phone. But what if you have no easy access to either a computer or an expensive smartphone? This is the case for hundreds of millions of people around the world.

We have recently been rolling out a feature that allows anyone to sign up for a Gmail account from a featurephone. All you have to do is visit mail.google.com from your featurephone and sign up. We wanted to make sure that users will be able to sign up using almost any sort of phone.
